First Weekend Getaway - Part 3 : Fossumristningen (Fossum Rock Carvings)

4 June 2017

The night before, he has driven from Gothenburg and parked in front of a lake. He drove for about 2 hours. He has suggested to go to Halden, a small town in Norway which lies at the Sweden-Norway border. The place we slept for the night was about an hour drive to Halden.


Along the route, I spied a UNESCO sign and requested for a detour. I am on a mission to view all of UNESCO World Heritage, if I am given the opportunity. I told him that I am going to mark all the UNESCO sites in Sweden and we shall go there. My rationale - The place must hold some history or some unique attributes to be worthy of a UNESCO recognition.

The parking lot was empty. It was a short walk to the UNESCO site. What we saw is Fossumristningen (Fossum Rock Carvings).
